Metal Church - Beyond The Black Lyrics






The war is over
The crypt we now taste
In the late 1900's, there is no human race
We split the planet with atomic bursts
Man has died
We seal the urn

Negotiations are over
Troops are marching to their doom
All that I see is gonna hate me
The smoke is blotting out the moon
No, God, please stop this bloody slaughter
We are off the beaten track
All the masses are rebelling
To withstand the dark attack
Will we make it back beyond the black?

Tanks are rolling in millions
See them come and now they're gone
All the mountains are blackened
They said it came from just one bomb
No, God, please stop this bloody slaughter
Let it all repeat - attack
All the masses are rebelling
To withstand the dark attack
Will we make it back beyond the black?
Will we make it back beyond?

Out of the crypt with faces marred
Seems the night has won
We unite as one
No more weapons, no more guns
Look out!
Food supplies are worth more than gold
Turn the young into old
With blinded eyes we count the cost
Of everything that we lost
Look out!...
Watch out!
Beyond the black!

  84. b.... ....

    2018 I’m here great workout song

  85. M.... B....

    I listened a lot more closely the riff that they copied was a riff in expendable youth by slayer

    M.... B....

    I think you are forgetting to compare the dates of these songs, considering "Beyond The Black" was 6 years before "Expendable Youth".

    M.... B....

    This song was released a long time before Slayers expendable youth. So you can say Slayer stole it🤣🤣

  86. M.... B....

    The verse riff they stole from slayer.the riff is copied riff by riff from slayer song.alot of the riffing sounds just like slayer.If you listen closely they are coping slayer 100 %.but it's okay the song still jams

    M.... B....

    Clearly you're
    higher than groceries.

  87. M.... K....

    The best everywhere people

  88. M.... C....

    Unbelievably heavy groove song in thrash metal area.

  89. A.... G....

    We split the planet with atomic bursts. Awesome man classic heavy metal at its finest.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  90. G.... C....

    Clássico, Heavy Metal em sua essência... As Bandas de hoje se perdem em uma massa sonora polida que nem sempre vemos o simples que soa bom.

  91. F.... ....

    seen in concert at Paris in 87 with Anthrax et Metallica...just a few months after the death of Cliff Burton!!!

  92. s.... b....

    they hung out with us in my friends van after there show at lamours with anthrax , we were drinking , smoking and singing this song with david , RIP , ill never forget that night .

    s.... b....

    silver black fukkn killer dude !!!😎🎤🎸🎧🇺🇸

    s.... b....

    David Bruggeman yea bro , a night ill never forget .

  93. L.... H....

    Metal Church was underrated...they're up there with Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax! The big five ;)

  94. Z.... L....

    what's the tune of the song? i tried universal tune, half step down, quarter step down, quarter step up and it just doesn't sound like it, does anyone know?

  95. J.... H....

    Such a great band for their day. Still sounds awesome.

  96. D.... S....

    Everyone who listened to this album had long hair and carried a comb in their back pocket. I know I did.

    D.... S....
